Ji Ling was still thinking about Yin's appointment as an eighth-grade eunuch.
There are many eunuchs in the Forbidden City, but just like the concubines, there are more eunuchs at the bottom of the triangle, and there are fewer high-ranking eunuchs as you go up.
Not to mention a eunuch wearing a hat.
Besides, not everyone can see the emperor.
Let's take Xiao Dazi as an example. If Ji Ling is not favored and Yin doesn't come to Jingyang Palace from time to time, then Xiao Dazi will make a flower out of the dining room and no one will appreciate it.
This is all because the master is favored, so the slave can follow him and become familiar with him in front of the emperor.
But in the Eastern and Western Zodiacs, how many such situations can there be?
Therefore, there are still some errands in the palace. It is no exaggeration to say that the eunuchs there, from the time they entered the palace when they were young until their eyes became dim, they may never have the opportunity in their entire lives to see clearly whether the emperor is tall or short or whether he is tall or short.
Fat is thin.
Not to mention having a good grade.
Many people are still just the most ordinary and lowest-level eunuchs until they get older, can no longer straighten their backs, and can no longer work!
Therefore, at Xiao Dazi's age, there are really not many people who can be an eighth-grade eunuch.
Ji Ling was happy for Xiao Dazi, but felt a little confused. Logically speaking, this eighth-grade eunuch was actually similar to the position of the deputy chief eunuch in the first palace, which was generally reserved for the concubines in the first position.
She's just a side view here.
The emperor must have known this just now, so he said to Xiao Dazi, "People are still staying in the east courtyard."
Ji Ling told Yin these thoughts in a hushed voice.
Yin hugged her, and the two sat side by side in the shade of the flowers in the small courtyard, head to head.
Qilin was originally lying at the door. When it saw Ji Ling go out, it immediately raised its head and stared at Ji Ling's back nervously with its two dark eyes.
Seeing Ji Ling walking further and further away, Qilin jumped up, threw away the toy yarn beside him, stepped out on his four short legs, and chased out in a panic.
After it caught up with Ji Ling and was close to her heels, it let go of its dog-like attitude and followed her closely.
Seeing Ji Ling sit down at this time, Qilin stepped forward and began to angrily scratch the hem of her robe with his front paws.
I told you not to take me! Humph!
Ji Ling didn't even look at it. He stretched out his hand and picked up the Qilin with familiar and smooth movements.
She put the Kirin on her lap and stroked the fuzzy hair on its head. It felt good, like a stuffed toy.
Then, she heard the fourth master patiently explain to her: "I am conferring this eighth-grade eunuch for you to bring to the Old Summer Palace."
He put his arm around her shoulders, patted her back gently for a while, and then said: "I have asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare the matter of concubinage.
As for the title seal, I think the plan proposed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a bit tacky, and I have been thinking about it over and over again these days."
After he finished speaking, Ji Ling's eyes widened and her eyebrows were raised.
He was happy, slapped her on the back with a moderate slap, and said: "I told you this before, Lingling, have you forgotten it?"
Ji Ling shook his head and his eyebrows finally dropped.
Then, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she whispered softly: "Your Majesty, can I think of my own title?"
Yin was stunned by her question.
Many of the concubines in the palace who were granted titles by the Jin Dynasty smiled and even cried bitterly to thank them. But in front of the emperor, it was the first time that he had seen someone who requested that he be granted titles.
Yin held her shoulders, turned her around to face him, and then teased her seriously: "Can you do it?"
Thinking about her dog-like "willow body", he deeply doubted this.
Ji Ling tilted his head seriously and said matter-of-factly: "Banning is still very important!
If I have a nice title, when new people come into the palace, the emperor will not bother to come to me. I have a nice and unusual title, and the emperor will think of me more when he hears it."
Yin was choked by her words at first, and was a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't expect that this little man had such thoughts.
He smacked these words again and felt deeply distressed.
He hugged her tightly into his arms, turned his head and kissed her heavily on her temples, then whispered, a little sullenly, and scolded: "Don't allow your wild thoughts! Lingling, I will always pamper you!"
"
Ji Ling pursed her lips, chuckled, leaned into Yin's arms, reached out to grab Yin's sleeve, and gently groped downwards.
Yin lowered his head and saw her grabbing his hand, pulling two of his fingers, and squeezing them in her palm.
His heart was squeezed softly by her.
Yin slowly sighed, this Lingling!
He turned around and held Ji Ling's hand.
Yin used a little strength in her hands to suppress Ji Ling's hand, preventing her from moving any more.
He then raised his head, stared at her deeply, and said, "Lingling, what title do you want to use? Tell me and let me hear it."
Are you going to make Fourth Master laugh at you by saying it?
Ji Ling turned her head, looked very serious, and said slowly and in a low voice: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Yin:……
He almost choked again!
He patted her head with his other hand, took a long breath, and comforted her: "Don't worry, think about it slowly, just think it over and tell me before setting off to the Old Summer Palace."
He lowered his head and looked into her eyes, and said: "Tomorrow, I will ask Su Peisheng to send you the title drafted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for you to take a look at. If you think about it carefully, if you really can't think of it, you can just pick one that suits your liking.
.I am naturally thinking about you.
He paused and then ordered: "Don't let anyone know about this matter. If you think of it, ask the servants in the courtyard to come to Yangxin Hall and report it to me face to face.
I promise you that as long as you don’t block your account too strangely or too superficially, I will try my best to make your wish come true!”
Ji Ling smiled broadly and nodded heavily.
She opened her hands, like a bear, and lay limply in Yin's arms. She sighed contentedly in Fourth Master's ear: "Yin, you are so good to me!"
In the yard, the slaves had already stayed away, and only Qilin was standing by.
Yin listened to her shouting his name and acted like a showman. He glared at her, then sighed, hugged her and said, "More and more presumptuous!"
He lowered his head and gently rubbed Ji Ling's temples, and suddenly remembered something and said: "Lingling, when we get to the Old Summer Palace, you will naturally be the head of the house. When the time comes, you want to live with the side, just to have fun.
, you still want to live alone, you can think about it now."
Ji Ling nodded, suddenly raised his head again, and asked Yin carefully: "Then when I return to the Forbidden City from the Old Summer Palace, if I bring someone with me, what will happen to the concubine Maobin in Jingyang Palace?"
Yin lifted her whole body up, pinched her ears with one hand, rubbed them gently, and then said: "When you are smart, you are really smart, and when you are stupid, you are really stupid!"
Ji Ling still laughed.
He looked at her silly smiling face and couldn't help but laugh too, with a warm tone like March in the South of the Yangtze River.
He touched her cheek and said softly: "When you come back from the Old Summer Palace, you will already be the concubine. Naturally, you will be the head of the first palace. I will have my own arrangements at that time."
